Chapter 409 Small order! Are you willing to earn this money?

It was the evening that Zhao Manying and her son were discharged from the hospital.

In the urban area, on the commercial street in front of the gate of Shanshui Normal University, a gray Cadillac drove up and slowly parked in a roadside parking space in front of a flower shop.

Immediately, the engine stalled.

The driver's door opened, and a man in a navy suit got out of the car.

After getting off the car, he looked up at the name of the flower shop and walked into the flower shop with a smile.

The name of the flower shop is - Youyate Flower Shop.

This is the flower shop Shan Jing opened here after leaving Yang Xingyu.

At this time, Shan Jing, who was wearing jeans and a thick sweater, was having dinner in the store. Her dinner was quite simple, just a fried noodles with shredded pork.

She originally had a good idea. She would stop being Yang Xingyu's secretary and stop looking for a job. She would use her savings to open a flower shop in front of the normal university.

She felt that the flower business at the entrance of the university should not be bad.

After all, in this era, how many college students don’t want to fall in love?

As we all know, among college students these days, besides games, dating is the most popular thing during college.

When young people fall in love, they usually buy some flowers, right?

Apart from universities, where else has such a strong love atmosphere?
Although she also feels that when college students fall in love, they may not have much money to buy flowers. Even if they do, they usually don’t buy many flowers.

However, there are so many young people falling in love in college!

So, she opened this flower shop here.

Thinking that I can earn money easily and decently, even if I only earn a few thousand yuan a month, I might as well work as a cow horse in another company.

In the past few years when she worked as Yang Xingyu's secretary, Yang Xingyu gave her a salary increase every year, and the year-end bonus at the end of the year was even more generous. She basically didn't have to spend money on food and clothing. Occasionally, when Yang Xingyu was in a good mood, he would give it to her. A bonus.

In short, she has a lot of savings.

The most important thing is that in the past few years as Yang Xingyu's secretary, she has become accustomed to the feeling of being inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.

She was afraid that if she changed to another company, she would not be able to be the boss's secretary, and she would be unable to adapt to the work environment where everyone was inferior to others.

However, before the flower shop opened, she thought everything was wonderful.

But there is always a gap between reality and expectations.

After the flower shop opened, she found that its business was much worse than she expected, and her monthly income was far less than she expected.

But not to the extent of losing money or going bankrupt.

She's a bit stuck.

However, tonight's fried noodles are quite delicious.

She was sitting alone in the flower shop, eating fried noodles with her head down. She heard the tinkling sound from the wind chimes hanging in front of the door, and she followed the sound.

When she saw a man in a suit and leather shoes walking into the store, Shan Jing's eyes lit up. He quickly put down his chopsticks, took out a tissue and wiped the oil stains on his mouth. He quickly stood up and greeted him, smiling and asking: "Welcome! I want to buy flowers." Are you going to give it to your girlfriend or wife? The flowers I have here are very fresh and beautiful, you can take a look at them."

The man in a navy suit stopped and looked at Shan Jing in surprise. He frowned slightly, as if he was reminiscing. Soon, his eyes became surprised, "Secretary Shan? Are you Secretary Shan?"

he asked in surprise.

Shan Jing was also surprised.

She looked at his face in surprise, looked him up and down, and asked uncertainly: "You, are you Chen Jian from Julong Group? Secretary Chen?"

The man in the suit looked even more surprised, "It's really you, Secretary Shan?"

Immediately, he turned around and looked around the small flower shop, his expression even more surprised, "This shop? Secretary Shan, why are you here? You don't open this shop, right?"

Shan Jing laughed at himself, nodded, and said calmly: "Yes! This shop is opened by me. By the way, what flowers do you need? Since we are acquaintances, I will give you a 20% discount, no! I I’ll give you a 30% discount! How about picking a bunch?”

"Oh, oh, okay! Okay! Thank you then!"

Chen Jian responded politely, looking around at the various flowers in the store, and couldn't help but ask: "Hey, by the way, Secretary Shan, are you...not going to be Mr. Yang's secretary now? Why are you here?" What’s going on with the flower shop?”

Shan Jing shrugged and laughed at himself: "Yes! I resigned from Mr. Yang a few months ago, and now I rely on this flower shop to make a living. Hey! You must come to take care of my business more often in the future!"

Chen Jian smiled, nodded, and agreed.

A moment later, Chen Jian bought a bouquet of perfume lilies, hugged the flowers, paid the money, politely said goodbye to Shan Jing, and went out to get into his Cadillac.

Before getting in the car, he still had a smile on his face.

Be polite to Shan Jing who walked him to the door.

But after getting in the car and closing the door, the smile on his face faded.

When the car started and drove away from the flower shop, the smile on his face completely disappeared, replaced by confusion and thoughtfulness in his eyes.

……

As night fell, Chen Jian's car arrived at the headquarters building of Julong Group.

He got out of the car, hugged the bouquet of flowers, walked quickly into the company building, took the elevator to the top floor, and came to the chairman's office.

Before entering, he raised his hand and knocked on the door, even though the door was open.

"Enter!"

Geng Xiuyun, who was wearing a white women's suit, responded without raising his head.

She was looking down at a document.

It wasn't until Chen Jian's footsteps came near her desk that she raised her eyes to look at him and the flowers in his arms.

He smiled slightly and said: "This bouquet of flowers is good! Very good!"

With that said, she closed the document in front of her, stood up and walked around the desk. While taking the mobile phone and purse on the table, she said, "Let's go! Come with me to the hospital to visit Mrs. Li."

Chen Jian agreed, followed Geng Xiuyun with flowers in his arms.

When Yi Xuefu was the chairman of Julong Group, he was Yi Xuefu's secretary.

Later, Yi Xuefu was imprisoned and served as the country's iron rice bowl. Chen Jian became Geng Xiuyun's secretary.

The two left the office and came to the elevator. After pressing the elevator button, the elevator door slowly closed, and then the elevator car descended at a constant speed.

At this time, the elevator was very quiet.

This kind of silence is a bit awkward when there are only two people. Therefore, Chen Jian habitually looked for topics, and the first topic he looked for at this time was: "Hey, Mr. Geng, do you want to guess whose store I bought this bouquet of flowers from? I think you must guess. Not even ”

Geng Xiuyun glanced at him in surprise, and said with a slight smile: "You have no beginning and no end, how can I guess? However, judging from what you said, the owner of the flower shop where you bought flowers today... I know?"

Chen Jian smiled and nodded: "Well, Secretary Shan Jing Shan, do you still remember? I didn't expect it! She has resigned from being Mr. Yang's secretary now. What's even more amazing is that she is now at the gate of the Normal University Opened a small flower shop, haha, don’t you think it’s interesting?”

"Shan Jing? The female secretary next to Yang Xingyu?"

The smile on Geng Xiuyun's face disappeared, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Chen Jian nodded and said yes.

Geng Xiuyun frowned and said doubtfully: "She resigned? Isn't it possible? If I remember correctly, this woman seems to be Yang Xingyu's old classmate! Yang Xingyu used to trust her very much, so he should regard her as a confidant ,Right?"

Chen Jian nodded again and said with emotion: "Yes! So today I suddenly saw her opening such a small flower shop. I was really surprised at the time. I didn't hear that Mr. Yang went bankrupt recently. Why did his personal secretary end up in this situation? Are you going to open a flower shop?”

Geng Xiuyun narrowed his eyes, thoughtfully.

At this time, the elevator dinged, and in the lobby on the first floor, the elevator door slowly opened.

Geng Xiuyun and Chen Jian quickly left the elevator and walked towards the company door.

When they left the company gate, they got into Geng Xiuyun's car.

Geng Xiuyun suddenly whispered to Chen Jian: "Chen Jian! Later, you can find a way to investigate the inside story of Shan Jing's resignation. Investigate it as soon as possible and tell me clearly!"

Chen Jian was a little surprised, but he immediately nodded in agreement.

Geng Xiuyun smiled, but his eyes were still thoughtful.

……

a few days later.

It’s still the fateful flower shop on the commercial street in front of the Normal University.

It's still evening.

Chen Jian, who was wearing a suit and ties, got out of his Cadillac again. The difference from last time was that today he was wearing a silver-gray suit.

After getting off the car, he looked at the glass door of Youyuan Flower Shop with a smile, calmly adjusted the collar and cuffs of his suit, and then slowly walked into the shop door.

When he entered, he inevitably touched the bead curtain hanging at the door of the store like last time, and the wind chimes on the bead curtain also jingled like last time.

In the shop.

Shan Jing, who was wearing brown casual pants and a white short down jacket, was having dinner just like last time.

The difference is that today she is eating a bowl of egg fried rice.

Hearing the sound of wind chimes at the door, she subconsciously put down the chopsticks in her hand, took out a napkin and wiped the oil stains on her mouth. She quickly stood up and walked over. Before she could see the faces of the people entering the store, she habitually said: "Welcome." Come! Do you want to buy flowers for your girlfriend or wife? Our store..."

Halfway through her words, she saw Chen Jian's face clearly.

So, she stopped saying the last part of the sentence and said with a smile: "Hey, Secretary Chen? Are you here again today? Welcome! What flowers do you want today? You can choose whatever you want! Don't worry! I'll still give you a 30% discount today. hehe."

Her whole state relaxed.

She regarded Chen Jian, who came to visit her for the second time, as a former acquaintance, and she was not wary.

With a warm smile on his face, Chen Jian nodded to Shan Jing and raised his hand to say hello, "Secretary Shan! We meet again. You are more beautiful today than the last time we met!"

Shan Jing laughed and shook her head, "No! I'm no longer a secretary. From now on, don't call me Secretary Shan. Call me 'Jingjing' or 'Xiao Dan'! My friends all call me that."

Chen Jian smiled and nodded.

With a smile, he took a few steps closer and looked at the egg fried rice on the small folding table in the store. Seeing that there was only a piece of egg fried rice packed in a takeout box on the table, he looked at Shan Jing in surprise. , "Xiao Dan, is this your dinner? Is this what you eat at night? Is it too simple? Isn't it nutritious enough?"

Hearing this, Shan Jing also glanced at the egg fried rice on the table, and said with a smile: "You have also seen that the business of my flower shop is quite slow. If the business is not good, how can I still have money to eat like a lavish meal? Haha , so, do you want to take care of my business more today?"

She was deliberately pretending to be poor, hoping to win some sympathy from Chen Jian and let him buy more flowers today, or buy more expensive flowers.

In fact, in the past few years when she worked as an assistant and secretary for Yang Xingyu, she bought a house and a car in the city, and she still had millions in savings in her bank card.

However, the position of secretary is inherently very challenging.

During the few years she was with Yang Xingyu, she had already developed the ability to talk to people and ghosts.

Just like now, as the owner of this small flower shop, of course she has to pretend to be poor in front of an acquaintance like Chen Jian.

As long as she pretends to be poor, can Chen Jian, an acquaintance and a man, not take more care of her business?
"What you said...Oh!"

Chen Jian sighed with emotion and looked at her with a hint of sympathy.

Then I saw him and said, "Okay! Take more care of your business, that's not just a matter of words! Don't worry! I will definitely buy more today!"

"Then I'd like to thank you first! Haha."

Shan Jing thanked him with a smile on his face.

But Chen Jian did not rush to pick flowers. Instead, he looked curious and hesitated to ask: "Hey, small order! Look at the business of your current flower shop... You just said it yourself , the business is not very good, then, have you ever thought about calling Mr. Yang? Mr. Yang has so many companies, as long as you call him, I think he should take into account your previous relationship. I’ll give you a good job, right? Are you too embarrassed to call him for help?”

Shan Jing thought about how she was forced to resign, and how before leaving, Yang Xingyu asked her to work as the vice president of Lean Decoration Company, but she refused on the spot. Thinking of these, she couldn't help but smile bitterly, shook her head and said, "Oh! How can I have the nerve to call him and ask him for help? Besides, I don’t want to ask him for help in this life!”

Speaking of this, she glanced at Chen Jian in front of her, quickly gathered her emotions, and changed her words: "Besides, although my current flower shop business is a bit slow, I can still support myself, so I don't have to go to him." Ask for help, good horses won’t turn around, right?”

Chen Jian nodded.

He seemed to understand and said: "It's understandable! It's understandable!"

Then, he subconsciously took out the cigarette case and lighter in his arms, "Can I have a cigarette? Sorry, I'm a bit addicted to smoking."

Shan Jing smiled and nodded, extending her hand to signal, "Please do it! Just smoke it! I'm not taboo about this."

"Thank you, I'm sorry!"

Chen Jian said, lowering his head and lighting a cigarette.

After taking two sips, he lowered his head and squinted his eyes. Then, he raised his head and looked at Dan Jing again, smiled and asked: "Xiao Dan, you look like this now, um... do you want to make some extra money? ? As long as you are willing, I guarantee you can make a lot of money! Think about it?"

Shan Jing frowned, her eyes becoming confused and surprised, "Oh? Extra money? What kind of extra money? Give it to me?"

She asked the last sentence in a joking tone.

Chen Jian subconsciously looked back at the store door. When he saw no one came in, he lowered his voice and said, "Xiao Dan, you have been Mr. Yang's personal secretary for several years. You must know many of his secrets. Let me tell you this." ! Someone is very interested in Mr. Yang’s secrets. As long as you can tell us a few, well, preferably secrets that can be used as clues, then... the person I represent will definitely not treat you badly. You Are you willing to earn this money?”

When he asked the last sentence, he squinted his eyes and stared into Shan Jing's eyes. (End of chapter)
